Picking Up Attributes From Today

The alcohol burned and tasted bitter. Not only was it muddy and unbearable, but
it also tasted awful. It couldn't even match up to erguotou!

Meng Lei didn't really like it, but he still took a few sips nonetheless. After a
month since his transmigration here, he was already close to puking after
consuming day after day of cool water and smoked jerky!

Now that there was finally alcohol, how could he not drink it?

"Take it easy, you'd better not finish it!"

Captain Hudders laughed as he derided him. He said, "I had spent 1 gold coin to
buy that from a passing trade caravan. That's the only bottle I have. Once it's
finished, it's all gone!"

"Got it!"

After a few rounds of drinks and flavorful meat, almost half of the large wild boar
had entered Captain Hudders' and Meng Lei's stomachs. The two of them leaned
against the doorframe and made small talk as they chatted away, turning into
Master Ge.

"Meng Lei, you have a talent for magic. Be sure to seize this opportunity well. This
is your chance to change your destiny. You absolutely mustn't let it slip by you!"

There was a deep and profound look in Hudders' eyes as he said, "I was in the
army in the past, so I've been to quite a few places. You can say that I'm the most
experienced and knowledgeable person in our village!"

"Yes!"

Meng Lei nodded silently!

"Cultivation techniques are out of reach for most people, so they are unable to
learn magic! But at the same time, cultivating magic also requires talent. Without

magic talent, even if one had cultivation methods, they can't become a noble
Magician, either!"

Captain Hudders stared right at Meng Lei and added, "You, on the other hand,
have actually unknowingly become a Magician before any of us even realized. It's
highly likely that you possess astounding magic talent…"

Captain Hudders couldn't find the appropriate words to describe this anymore!

Incredible?

Inconceivable?

Astonishing?

However, what he could be sure of was that Meng Lei definitely possessed
exceptional magic talent—precious talent that countless people dreamed of and
longed for, yet couldn't have!

Do I have magic talent?

Meng Lei was uncertain and nervous, though!

"Meng Lei! Remember this! Be sure to seize this opportunity well!"

Hudders belched, somewhat drunk. He said, "You should know that our village is
under the jurisdiction of the Fire Dragon Kingdom, which is also one of the
kingdoms under the Dragon God Empire's command!"

Meng Lei nodded silently!

In Heaven's Vault Continent, innumerable races existed!

The most powerful, and the most ancient, of all were the four great intelligent
races—the Dragons, Titans, Fairies, and the Beast People!

The four great intelligent races dominated Heaven's Vault Continent and
occupied a good half of the continent's land. Upon which, they built the four great
empires that had ruled over Heaven's Vault Continent for as long as 10,000 years!

The Dragon God Empire!

The Titan Empire!

The Fairy Empire!

And the Beast People Empire!

Out of the four, the Dragon God Empire was situated in the east of Heaven's Vault
Continent, overlooking the endless oceans in the east and facing the Magical Beast
Ridge in the west. With 15 Kingdoms and 48 Dukedoms under its rule, it was a
multi-racial empire governed by the Colossal Dragons!

"The Colossal Dragons have a strong and powerful physique and are also skilled
in Dragon-Language Magic. They are one of the most powerful races in the
continent. Unfortunately, the Colossal Dragon bloodline is simply too strong, so
their reproduction rate is extremely low!"

Captain Hudders spoke like someone who had experienced the many vicissitudes
of life. He went on and said, "Looking at the entire Dragon God Empire, there is
only an extremely low number of pure-blooded Colossal Dragons. For the sake of
convenience in governance, the Dragon God Empire has divided the races under
their rule into four classes!"

"Four classes?"

Meng Lei's spirits perked up!

"Yes, four classes, which is also known as the Four-Classes Stratification System!"

Captain Hudders let out a wry laugh and went on. He said, "The four classes
represent four completely different social statuses. Their racial obligations and the
way the law treats the four classes are also completely different!

"Pure-blooded dragons belong to the first class. They are born into nobility and
are conferred as the empire's Marquises the moment they are born. Not only do
they own a large amount of land, but they also get to enjoy all sorts of special
privileges that we would never have even in our dreams!"

First-class: Pure-blooded dragons!

Born into nobility!

Conferred as Marquises the moment they were born!

Meng Lei quietly digested these pieces of news. Then, he asked, "What about the
second class? Which race is in second class?"

"In second class are the Drakes!"

In a low voice, Hudders said, "The dragons are innately lustful beings. In order to
make up for their low reproduction rates, the pure-blooded dragons frequently
commit lewd and immoral acts!

"This way, they would naturally give birth to some mixed-breed descendants that
possess dragon blood. These descendants are known as the Drakes!

"The Drakes are also categorized into Dragon People and Dragon Beasts!"

Meng Lei was rather dumbfounded. He couldn't help but conjure up some rather
eye-stinging images in his mind. A Colossal Dragon riding on top of a wild boar,
and then… Giving birth to a dragon-pig?

Or if it's riding on a horse? Hmm, a dragon-horse?

And if it's riding on a human…

A single sweatdrop appeared on Meng Lei's forehead.

… A dragon-man?

"The Drakes inherit part of the dragons' talent. Some of them have powerful
physiques, and some of them are skilled in Dragon-Language Magic. Adding to this
their terrifying numbers, they are the Dragon God Empire's main forces. 80% of
Dragon God Empire's nobles are Drakes!"

Meng Lei asked another question, "What about the third class?"

"The third class is our human race's nobility!"

Hudders sighed before he said, "In Dragon God Empire, the largest population is
neither the Drakes nor other intelligent races. Rather, it's us, humans, that make up
90% of the Dragon God Empire's population!

"Most humans' battle capabilities are weak, and they are of a lowly status. They
are also unable to come into contact with magic or Battle Aura even in their whole
lives. Thus, they can only be fourth-class commoners for all generations to come!

"But even so, there are always a few lucky ones born with exceptional talent!
Through various ways, they come to possess methods of learning Battle Aura and
magic, and end up possessing great power!

"In Heaven's Vault Continent where the strong are revered, one's battle
capabilities will always be a status symbol. Thus, the strong among us humans can
also receive high positions within the Dragon God Empire and become nobility!

"Among them, the most famous of all is the Swirling Snow Sword Saint, Master
Galen Bonaparte!"

When he brought up Galen Bonaparte, Captain Hudders' eyes were full of

worship and respect. He said, "The legends of Galen Bonaparte are well-known
throughout the continent. He is the idol and pride of the human race, and his
existence motivates each generation of men among the human race!"

"Galen Bonaparte?"

Meng Lei nodded lightly. This name was the subject of innumerable traveling
bards and minstrels. Songs and poems about him were so widely known that even
three-year-old toddlers knew about him. He could be said to be the strongest
person among the human race in Dragon God Empire, as well as the human with
the highest position in Dragon God Empire!

"The fourth class is naturally normal people like us!"

Hudders said, "Normal humans have a lowly status and belong to the domain of
people to be exploited. Not only are we not protected by the empire's law, but we
also have to shoulder the heavy obligation of military service!

"The empire's law dictates that all humans, upon reaching 16 years of age, must
head to various areas of the empire to carry out obligatory military service. This
could be enlisting in the army, going deep into the mines to mine for minerals, or
entering the nobility's mansions to become slaves or guards…

"Such is the destiny of fourth-class people, and also the destiny of normal people
like us!

"If I recall correctly… You're already 15 years old, right?"
